Most durable wax I have encountered - Collinite 845

This is a discussion on Most durable wax I have encountered - Collinite 845 within Modifications & Accessories, part of the Under the Hood category; What you need is paint correction!
a polish will definitely blunt the edges of the swirl marks making them less ...

Though my vehicle is very new (just 26 days old) still decided to go ahead with the Collinite due to monsoon as protective coat (not a single drop of real monsoon rained as yet in Pune though).

Though Collinite didn't make any remarkable difference, the paint was anyways defect free but still I could see a some improvement in glaze factor; I could feel the improvement in the smoothness and skid factor on the paint surface. Didn't check the water beading as yet though.
Here are some pics after Collinite application.

All,
I read so many people ordering Collinite but not many of them shared their experiences. Could you please share your experiences; any learnings from it; any tipe or tricks etc.
Please post the result pics of your vehicles after applying Collinite.

Well I have received my bottle of collinite and will be working on my car over this weekend - hopefully rains will stop until I can finish as in Mumbai its raining heavily and I don't have a shed to work on my car. Hope to click pre and post pictures and post it in this thread.

By the way the offer that is available is only till 31st July - as informed by Mr Sanjay.

immediately, it would definitely look good and may even last 3-4 days but it(UQW's sealant layer) will wear off quite soon when compared to when you use UQW on a sealant (NXT 2.0).

I havent used UQW though! lol

Many ppl say that the solvents used to liquefy waxes and sealants can thin out a wax layer! (sealants are resistant to that 'thinning out' )

I think if you regularly wax/seal the surface! (I do it weekly unless I'm super busy!) then you can use the spray waxes and UQDs!

Sohail, what I did last weekend was to wash, use megs cleaner wax, and use UQD in the afternoon.
Is that a correct procedure or am I leaving any gaps.

I am not going for comprehensive slaying and polishing as I am yet to procure a good polish. Is sonax auto polish (procured from US) ok?

What I plan is wash (formula 1) -clay (megs) -polish (hopefully sonax) - wax (nxt 2.0) in one weekend, and use UQD and UQW for the next 4-6 weekends, before applying a layer of nxt / collinite.
Need yours/ Sid's (garipagol)/nirmaljusdoit's comment on the procedure.

I am also planning to procure some collinite 845 - do I just email sanjay?

If you are planning to order Collinite-845 then do it fast; the 10% discount for Team-BHP members+freebies end on 31st. July2010.

Write an email to Sanjay (he will explain you rest of the procedure); transfer money to his bank account and then you are all set. Don't forget to ask him to pack the bottle well as there were cases where spilling was reported.

did you prep the surface before?claying it? tho its a new car, needs that for better bonding. What looks as defect free may not be as even a new car has swirls and contamination for sure.
BTW these alloys are from the honda dealer, i was looking at buying and was told 35K or so, what price did you get them for?

May i offer my 2 cents, you should layer NXT again after 24 hours and do that for a few weeks. Post that UQD and UQW are enough. I feel UQW is just for giving that slick feeling, some protection but not that useful really. I use it only when too lazy
